If you're looking for a camcorder for a more professional application for shooting business meetings, training seminars and those type of things you will probably you need to step up a little higher in price range. Get something that gives you a little more control may be necessary. You find yourself anywhere from boardrooms to convention centres where you have to shoot. The lighting conditions can be dramatically different. The other thing people don't think about when they're buying higher end cameras is audio. Audio in these environments plays big into this. Look at the audio options of the camcorder you're choosing. Look for manually microphone level controls, microphone inputs. Mic inputs are not on a lot of cameras these days, so you really need to step up to one that has that.
